Notes
Save time by buying some toppings: You can easily make keto taco salad bowls with ingredients that you can pick up, ready-to-eat from the store. For example, the fresh foods section in most markets has fresh guacamole and pico de gallo for sale daily. To save time, you can allow your local market to do some of the prep for you.
Customize to your tastes: this salad includes many of my favorite taco toppings and doesn't include a dressing. Feel free to adjust this to your tastes and preferences. The options are endless.
Use low-carb Doritos: this taco salad tastes great and full of flavor as is, but if you'd like you can use these low-carb Doritos for added crunch and flavor.
